Originating from African roots, particularly among Swahili-speaking communities, Jaliah is a unique and captivating female given name. Derived from the Arabic word 'Jalila,' which means 'beautiful' or 'delicate,' it signifies elegance and grace. In Islamic culture, Jalilah also refers to one of the names for Paradise, further imbuing this name with divine connotations.
"Jaliah saw its popularity rise significantly from 1995 onwards, peaking with 75 births each in 2009 and 2010. However, it has since declined, with only 24 births recorded in 2021 and 32 in 2023."
